Risk-Adjusted, 30-Day Home Time After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement as a Hospital-Level Performance Metric.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-centric measures of hospital performance for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are needed.

Objectives

This study evaluated 30-day, risk-adjusted home time as a hospital performance metric for patients who underwent TAVR.

Methods

This study identified 160,792 Medicare beneficiaries who underwent elective TAVR from 2015 to 2019. Home time was calculated for each patient as the number of days alive and spent outside the hospital, skilled nursing facility (SNF), and long-term acute care facility for 30 days after the TAVR procedure date. Correlations between risk-adjusted, 30-day home time and other metrics (30-day, risk-adjusted readmission rate [RSRR], 30-day, risk-adjusted mortality rate [RSMR], and annual TAVR volume) were estimated usin
